Analysis of Infatuation
It is April in the hearts of all
Who live upon this stretch,
Yet the inner words I hear
Firmly recollect and etch,
Memories lost and memories stuck
In the annals of my soul,
Only you can reach the depth of it,
April grows cold.
May attempts a weak appearance,
March’s winds are hanging round,
But the warmth of earth is calming,
Only rain creates a sound!
Thoughts and ideas are so fleeting,
Did your thoughts come as swift as mine,
You don’t come, yet I’ll remember,
I will solitarily pine!
